China, Russia and Japan are best poised to do this, acting in concert, which is why everyone keeps mentioning them, even though it is unlikely they will act in a military fashion.

So the only nation with military resources in Europe is the UK?
China, Russia, and Japan working together would be as likely as Rush Limbaugh, Osma Bin Laden, and Howard Dean having a BBQ together.
The Russian military is not up to the task currently, China doesn't really want to do anything, and Japan doing so would be politically bad. Therefore if ANYONE is going to do something its going to be from the west.
